BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests a link between dietary antioxidants and endometriosis risk, prompting interest in measures like the Composite Dietary Ant…

High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a protein released from stressed or damaged cells that triggers immune activation and chronic inflammation. The NOD-like receptor (NLR) family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) is a central component of …

Background and objectivesOligomenorrhea and hypomenorrhea were common conditions in outpatient visit which affected child-bearing aged women, and the conventional progesterone treatment has been related to several side effect and contradict…

IntroductionCisplatin resistance is a major challenge in ovarian cancer therapy, particularly for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). DNA topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A) relates to cancer drug resistance, yet its role and molecular mechanis…

The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of large animal models in gynecology research and provide future perspectives. Gynecological diseases are diverse and pose a serious threat to women's physical and mental health. I…

One of the functions of organism cells is to maintain energy homeostasis to promote metabolism and adapt to the environment. The 3 major pathways of cellular energy metabolism are glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and oxidativ…

BackgroundThe dysbiosis of gut microbiome is known to have a significant impact on the progression of sever acute pancreatitis (SAP). This study intends to investigate the alteration of gut microbiome in SAP patients during hospitalization …

Chronic pain imposes incalculable health and economic burdens, affecting more than 30% of the global population in published studies. Optimal management of chronic pain is imperative for individuals experiencing such distress. Nevertheless,…

Endometriosis (EMS), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10 % reproductive aged women, remains etiologically unclear. This study aims to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of frizzled class receptor 7 (FZD7) i…

BackgroundDifferent endometrial preparation protocols are used prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Optimization of endometrial preparation protocols is mandatory to improve live birth rate and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. In …

Progressive dysmenorrhea and extensive fibrosis within the myometrium are hallmark features of adenomyosis (AM). Approximately 80% of patients with AM experience secondary dysmenorrhea, which occurs more frequently in AM than in other gynec…

The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is an innovative anthropometric measure reflecting body shape and obesity, increasingly recognized as a potential predictor of infertility, warranting further exploration. This research employed a cross-sectio…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the effect of ovarian endometriosis (OE) on ovarian reserve, as well as on cumulative clinical pregnancy rates (cCPR) and cumulative live birth rates (cLBR) in groups of younger women (those under…

Endometrial cysts of the ovary (EMC) may develop into endometriosis (EM)‑associated ovarian cancer over time (EAOC), but the pathogenesis of this disease has not been determined. In the present study, RNA sequencing was used to identify a f…

BACKGROUND: Alarelin acetate, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, is widely used to manage endometriosis and hormone-sensitive malignancies. Although its safety profile is generally favorable, we report the first doc…

Objective To identify novel and noninvasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of adenomyosis and to provide potential therapeutic targets. Design We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 110 women of reproductive age who underwent pe…

OBJECTIVE: Although immune dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs), the specific role of prostate transmembrane protein androgen induced 1 (PMEPA1) in modulating the function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) rema…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy that often exhibits molecular features such as extensive somatic copy number alterations, microsatellite instability and frequent TP53 mutations, which considerably affect the physi…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a risk prediction model of endometriosis in infertile women and verify the model. METHODS: A retrospective study was made of 140 infertile women hospitalized at Henan Provincial People's Hospital betw…

As an emerging endocrine-disrupting agent and structural analog of bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol B (BPB) raises significant concerns due to its potential to induce male reproductive toxicity. Despite its presence in maternal bodily fluids, t…

BackgroundPoor ovarian response (POR) is a challenging condition in assisted reproduction technology. Oral contraceptives (OCs) are commonly used to suppress gonadotropin hormone release in POR patients to synchronize the development of ant…

ObjectivesTo estimate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) and its subtypes among nulliparous Chinese women with associated risk factors. The prevalence of UI among those living in urban or rural communities was also analysed with po…

BackgroundMany components in follicular fluid (FF), such as peptide hormones, cytokines, and steroids, undergo dynamic changes during folliculogenesis and have important roles in follicular development. Because systemic inflammation has als…
